Any budget restrictions?

Ideally under $100, but up to $150. Mostly I'm just looking for a starting point.

Combined 100 or each?

Since i'm full tower addict I must advise to get one.

About PSU, this one offers great value. Maybe there will be someone who will say differently and maybe there is something better out there but I just can't resist on Corsair warranty policies. 5 years warranty. That's big. And it will offer you much powerfull GPU to install in time to come.

Honestly, looking for an all in one if at all possible.

If you mean Tower with PSU installed already i think that you are out of luck. Those PSU's that come with Towers are mostly shitty ones, very bad ones, and are meant for office or some low profile PC's.

... Surfed through newegg.com but not found anything worth recommending. Sorry, combo's are not my thing.

Good luck.

Alright, that is what I was starting to think. Do you have a recommendation for a separate tower and power supply? And how many watts do you think I'll need?

Are you ever planing to upgrade your PC with new video card? Do you need big tower or an average size one?

I think average is fine. I may update my video card eventually, but I don't plan on updating it anytime soon.

You should leave enough room in terms of power for upgrading in the future. So, i would go with 550W+ PSU, branded (Corsair, OCZ, Seasonic, XFX, Antec) something like this http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Builder-Watt-EPS%C2%A0-CX600/dp/B0092ML0OC/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1364518243&sr=1-2&keywords=corsair+psu

don't spare 10$ to get a real thing.. .you'll be able to upgrade to high video eventually with something like this.



or any other case

That's awesome, thanks! I was having a hard time getting a reading on how many watts I was going to need in my PSU, and you were incredibly helpful. I like the case, if only it was prime. I'm trying to see if I can get every Amazon prime, just for simplicity's sake.

Think you'll find what you are looking for. Thermaltake, Coolermaster and Gigabyte have very nice towers for nice price. Search between those.
